These colourwork mittens have held up amazingly well, due to having used ryeland wool. I'm going to make another pair soon, but with Shetland:

Shetland wool is way more complicated than I thought when I first spun it. I'm glad I held off making a Fiber Talk episode about it. The episode is coming, but here's why it took so long:

How do you analyse handspun samples? I'm wearing my scientific hat today as I go through my samples and record their grist and twist angle.
The results are to be expected, but some bits were a bit of a surprise!

Do you smoosh your face into freshly hanked yarn? It's okay if you do, I do. I'll also wind it into a hank, wiggle it at my partner and demand he smoosh it too. I love that he humours me. After the squish, he says something like "oh, that's really soft!"
Who's the enabler here, amirite? 🧐😅🤣🤣

Endless Dream. 2025. Acid dyes on Merino wool. Handdyed products are literally works of art. If I kept this recipe, which I haven't, it would be difficult to replicate this colourway precisely.

There's no room for far right extremism in the US and UK. Their "policies" are short sighted and destructive, only insulating the mega wealthy. There is insufficient space to convey my rage at Reform polling.

Now that I have your attention, there's a premiere for a new video set to air on my YouTube channel at 8p (UK) on Monday night. I mentioned cutting out vegetable matter from a fleece I bought back in April this year, but now I've sorted and washed that wool (and got around to editing the video) 😊

It has been a pleasure to spin life into yarn with Iron Age spindle whorls. I'm pootling along with my experiments for the Spindling for Weaving project, and now working with North Ronaldsay wool. I have published updates on my Patreon and on my blog (www.expertlydyed.com).
